OVIDE - P.Ovidii Nasonis metamorphosis libri cum pulcherrimis fabularum principalium figuris. Lyon, Mareschal, 1524. In-4 full modern calf in imitation of the old one, spine with large nerves, 206 ff. numbered (lacks the first 6 leaves and the last 6 leaves of index). Beautiful edition printed in round type, with commentaries in gothic and illustrated with 15 woodcut vignettes drawn by G. Leroy, "the master with the navel". This suite of woodcuts is that of the edition of the Metamorphoses printed in 1510 by Claude Davost for the bookseller Etienne Gueynard (Baudrier, XI-415-17). A copy with numerous old annotations in the margins (qq. ink stains and qq. light spotting). A nice copy.
